# Meta-Zettel A Zettel triggered a re-framing process or a conclusion, which might serve as a connection point for other notes or serve as the stepping-stone for another train of thought. Zettels represent a single idea that is either a starting point for a train of thought or branch off from other notes. Both variants are represented via [[Meta-Linking|relations]] to other notes and a [[Meta-Naming|prefix in the name]]. Zettels are usually created while exploring a topic, which means they appear in a [[Meta-Naming|certain order]] and [[Meta-Linking|relate]] to other topics. --- ## Related - **previous** [[Meta]] - **see** [[Meta-Fieldnote]] for the note describing notes of the type Zettel - **see** [[Meta-Naming]] for the naming conventions and prefix - **see** [[Meta-Linking]] for more information about linking notes ## Sources - **references** [writing.bobdoto.computer](https://writing.bobdoto.computer/what-is-a-permanent-note-correcting-some-common-misunderstandings/) for the idea behind ## Usage - **used in** none --- ## Changelog - [[2026-06-07]]: Initial creation
